레드 라이트 대. 블루라이트테라피: What’s the difference and the combined benefits
빨간불 치료 (RLT) and blue light therapy (BLT) both use light to target skin and health problems. But they work in very different ways. Here is a simple explanation of how they work and how they can be used together.
1. 레드 라이트 테라피 (630-660nm)
This type of light therapy goes deeper into the skin (5–10mm) and targets collagen, 염증, and cellular repair.
이익:
✔ Anti-Aging – Stimulates collagen & 엘라스틴 (주름을 감소시킨다, 피부탄력을 향상시킨다).
It can also help wounds heal more quickly, whether from acne scars, burns or surgery.
It can also provide pain relief by reducing inflammation in joints and muscles (관절염, 건염).
It can also help with hair growth by reactivating hair follicles.
✔ Sleep & Mood – May boost melatonin and serotonin.
가장 좋습니다:
Mature skin, 주사, 관절통, and recovery after working out.
2. 블루라이트테라피 (415-450nm)
Surface-level (1–2mm) → Targets bacteria and oil production.
The benefits are:
✔ Acne Treatment – Kills P. 여드름균 (approved by the FDA for acne).
It can also help control oily skin by reducing sebum production.
It can also help with psoriasis and eczema, by calming any flare-ups (when used with red light).
It can also be used to disinfect surfaces in hospitals.
가장 좋습니다:
For oily/combination skin and mild scalp conditions.
3. Combined Red + 블루라이트테라피
Why Use Both?
여드름의 경우:Blue kills bacteria, which is good. Red reduces redness and scarring, which is bad.
공부하다: Combining the two treatments improved acne by 77% compared to 50% with blue light therapy on its own (Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy).
For ageing and breakouts:
Blue prevents clogged pores, while red boosts collagen.
Post-Procedure Healing:
Blue prevents infection, while red speeds recovery after peels or laser treatments.
How to combine them:
Sequential: Blue first (5–10 minutes), then Red (10–20 분).
Or you can do them at the same time: Devices like Omnilux Clear or CurrentBody Mask emit both.
4. 안전 & Who Should Avoid It✅ Safe for most people (non-UV, 비 침습적).⚠ Avoid if:You are taking photosensitizing meds (예를 들어, accutane, 독시사이클린).Have lupus, porphyria, or melanoma (의사와 상담하십시오).Are pregnant (limited research).5.
